Always think of your kick as another element of your composition rather than its own entity. If you have a kick going on, here is something i do. I cut the final kick i used into 2 peices.
One covers the lower half of the spectrum, and the other covers the higher half. I then tune my higher half peices to the main bassline/melody/theme to my track then compress it with the other un-tuned half (which should be in the key of your song anyway - so theres no musical collisions). This way u get a good balance between a nice big kick and some melodic content in it also - without sounding sappy (like a amatuer tuned 808). Think of it as a stealth tactic -- a final method to make your track more cohesive and united!
